Edinburgh weather as polar vortex set to bring snow and -11C temperatures to UK

A weather phenomenon is set to bring chill to the UK, with temperatures plummeting to -11C in some areas.

It comes as a major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) takes place, likely displacing the polar vortex. A polar vortex is a large region of cold, rotating air that surrounds the Earth's two polar regions, north and south.

Temperatures have been a little above average across Edinburgh during February so far. However, things are beginning to feel a little colder as temperatures struggle to stay above freezing throughout the capital overnight this weekend.
